Lent is here and in addition to the official question, “What are you giving up?,” I always ask myself, “What am I going to cook next Friday?” Sometimes I run out of ideas and end up making quesadillas and salad, but this year I would love to try new recipes.

That’s why I’m going to propose something to you. Do you have a meatless (without chicken, pork, or beef) recipe you would like to share with me? If you do and would like to feature it at Mama Latina Tips in the next few weeks, please leave me a comment, don’t forget to leave your email, blog, or other contact info, or you can send me an email.

For now, I will share one I created when I wanted to have a light and nutritious meal without sacrificing flavor. This one is a winner. Perfect for Lent or on a very hot day. Everyone loves it, I hope you will too!

Silvia’s Mexican Tuna Salad

1/4 cup white onion finely chopped

1 roma tomato finely chopped

1 serrano pepper finely chopped (or more if you want it spicier, or you can omit it if you don’t)
